The McGill Tribune, November 1016,1992

Hews B ar B lu e D og sp on sors W alk-Safe BY AMY MCBRIDE Bar Blue Dog has volun teered to sponsor McGill’s studentrun Walk-Safe Network (WSN), a service that offers to accompany users on their night-time walks. Last Friday, the bar began donat ing one dollar per patron to WSN and plans to continue funding them by providing half of the cover charge received on Tuesday and Friday nights. The bar promotes Tuesday evenings with a ‘Ladies’ Night’ event. Despite concerns that stu dents may question WSN’s affilia tion with a drinking establishment, WSN coordinator Fiona Deller clarified the program’s position and justified the bar’s involvement.

“Our main concern is to pro vide this service to as many people as possible, not to regulate their social patterns,” emphasized Deller. Blue Dog co-owner Dave MacKay expressed concerns about the prevalence of violence against women in Montreal and explained why the bar wished to help fund WSN. “By sponsoring the WalkSafe Network, we’ll be giving our ‘Ladies’ Night’ promotion a safer edge,” noted MacKay. “By donat ing money, we’ll sleep soundly at night and Walk-Safe’s operation will continue to be funded.” WSN coordinator Paul Johnson is pleased with MacKay’s proposals.

“I believe that the Blue Dog’s desire to work with WSN demon strates their responsibility towards the community,” stated Johnson. Although the Blue Dog has not previously had a cover charge, MacKay believes that the patrons will support it, knowing that pro ceeds directly benefit WSN. “The Blue Dog has never officially been associated with McGill, even though a majority of our clients are students,” MacKay elaborated. The bar will be distributing WSN business cards at the door and will place stickers with the WSN telephone number on the bar’s telephones, making the number readily available to their patrons.

In order to supplement the monetary donations, MacKay ex plained that Blue Dog staff mem bers have also expressed interest in volunteering to walk for WSN. “We [the Blue Dog staff] have already enacted a policy which provides walks home for our em ployees,” said MacKay. “We are well aware of the neighborhood’s dangers and the longer [problems] are suppressed, the worse [crime] is going to get.” Suggesting an expansion of the current Walk-Safe program, MacKay offered to provide WSN with the use of his jeep. “Since Walk-Safe doesn’t operate on Sunday evenings, per haps they could start a system of patrolling the ghetto with Walk-

A G eneral A ssem b ly o f n on e BY GENEVIEVE BEAUCHEMIN AND BRENDAN BISSELL The General Assembly [GA], which was supposed to take place last Wednesday, ended be fore it could begin. Students waited 45 minutes to obtain the required quorum of 200 students to start the meeting, but minutes after its com mencement, quorum was lost as Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) members left in droves, protesting a defeated motion. As a result, the GA’s agenda was never adopted, and no further debate was possible. Fraternity and sorority members were primarily in attend ance to discuss the issue of IFC and other club funding and recognition by the Students’ Society (SSMU), which was tabled last on the agenda. After a motion to move this item to the top of the agenda was defeated in a vote, IFC members were frus trated and disappointed. “This was not an IFC-sponsored exit,” explained IFC Presi-

dent Rob Palm. ‘The people that left were expressing their frustra tion with past process of IFC rec ognition at McGill.” In 1989, IFC lost SSMU club recognition in an SSMU Judicial Board review. The GA allowed IFC to bring up the topic of club and group recognition, but mem bers seemed overwhelmed by the defeated motion. Part of the anger that fueled the walk-out stemmed from the notion that the agenda listed items for discussion in order of priority. Palm was mystified at why the item of club recognition was tabled last. “The first item [tabled] came from the same committee as ours,” he argued. Belinda Grondi, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, believed that leaving the G A was a matter of principle. “I was told that issues going first were the most important ones, so we wanted to show that we do matter,” Grondi explained. But Architecture Rep Greg

Shron was dismayed and angered by IFC action. “Nothing got accomplished because of the frats,” he stated. Similarly, Amy Ridley, co ordinator of a workshop dealing with equity issues, believed that IFC’s actions reflected a poor atti tude towards other student issues. “They are very frat-centric, and they have very little interest in other issues,” fumed Ridley. “This shows a real lack of interest in the student body and reflects badly on frats.” Several members of the IFC were unhappy with the results of the walk-out, and were trying to restore quorum. While students waited to see if quorum would again be reached, Beta Theta Pi Frater nity president Jake Bullen was conciliatory. “We are trying to get people back,” insisted Bullen. “We are now calling our fraternities and sororities to show that we are con cerned about the other issues on the agenda. We do not mean to delib erately short circuit the procedure.”

Palm also wanted to explain that there had been some confusion surrounding the vote on the agenda itself which precipitated the walk out. “People were not familiar with the General Assembly proc ess,” he explained. “People felt it was a complete defeat [of the club funding issue].” Part of the controversy was a result of a suspicion held by some in attendance at the GA, that the IFC had been attempting to stack the assembly by bringing as many of its members as possible. Several fraternity and sorority members felt that this was an unfair judgement by other students. “The notion of stacking does not have any relevance in a demo cratic process such as this one,” argued Bullen who was irritated by reports from the student press. “We were here supporting a certain point of view. It is unfair to claim that we are stacking an assembly.”

A fter rejection of a m otion to table IFC and o th er club status to th e top of the Assem bly agenda, IFC m em bers head for th e top of th e stairs.

Safers using my jeep,” he elabo rated. WSN coordinators are cur rently considering MacKay’s offer and investigating insurance legali ties. MacKay and Blue Dog owner Nabil Moukarzel plan to send a letter to McGill Dean of Students Irwin Gopnik to inform university administration of the bar’s support for WSN. “We’re not terribly pleased with the fact that [Dean Gopnik] has turned a blind eye to the pro gram ,” commented MacKay, re ferring to the administration’s cur rent lack of financial support for WSN.

For your safety information W alk-Safe Network (WSN) and the McGill Sexual Assault Centre (MSAC) have been authorized by those report ing incidents to release the fol lowing information in order to raise awareness and increase personal safety. On Saturday, October 31st, a woman attempting to enter her home reported that a man followed her up to her apartmentsteps. When she asked him to leave he came closer to her and tried to grab her. She was able to get into her apart ment, but the man watched her through her window until he saw her calling to her roommate. After he observed this, he finally left. The man is described as “tall, thin, Middle Eastern with medium length dark hair and in his mid-twenties.” He was also wearing a three-quarter length tan coat. On Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, a woman walking along Union Street south of Sherbrooke re ported that a man grabbed her and stuck his hand down her shirt. She managed to fight him off and run away. The man spoke English with a French accent and is described as “5’11”, 2324 years old, dark hair and clean cut.” On Wednesday, Nov. 4th, a man verbally harassed two women, using racist intonations towards one, on the fourth floor of the Union Building. The same man has been sighted several times in the Union Building in the last week. He is described as “ 5’10”, over 50 years old, red dish complexion, dark hair and wearing eye glasses.”

T he 31 -question survey, w hich w as m o dified from a 1987 U niversity o f M an itoba harassm ent survey, was com piled by M cG ill sexual harass m en t assessor P atricia W ells and is b eing sent out to 8,500 students. A co m p u ter p rogram selects students at random , providing an equal rep re sentation o f m ales, fem ales, u n d er g raduates and graduate students. D escribing the survey as an attem p t to get a global view o f sexual harassm ent at M cG ill, W ells believes th e survey w ill uncover to w hat ex te n t s e x u a l h a ra s sm e n t p o se s a p ro b lem at M cG ill S tudents’ Society (SSM U ) V P U n iv e r s ity A f f a ir s M o n iq u e S h ebbeare argued that no survey is needed to discover w hether a prob lem exists at M cG ill. “ I k n o w m a n y p e o p le at M cG ill w ho have been harassed and the issues are often serious and affect p eo p le very d eeply,” she stated. M c G ill C o a litio n A g a in s t S ex u al A ssau lt co o rd in ato r A m y R idley felt the survey w ould not get to the ro o t o f the problem . “T he entire survey is designed w ith the intent o f com ing up w ith the an sw er that education is need ed ,” she stressed. “T he d o n ’t k n o w [re sponse] answ ers are w eighted a lot heavier than eith er the affirm ative or n eg ativ e resp o n ses.” W ells’ objective for the survey is for it to serve as a discussion point fo r the im plem entation o f im proved e d u c a tio n a l p o lic ie s a n d o th e r changes that m ay enhance the present program .

A ccording to R idley, the survey will not contribute tow ards acheiving these goals. “W e have been giving them [adm inistration] w orked, researched and extensive student input,” she stated. “T hey have resisted us every step o f the w ay.

Council to ask U niversity for pass/fail system BY STEVE SMITH Students’ Society (SSMU) plans to lobby the university ad ministration for a pass/fail option on elective courses. The option is a standard feature at universities across North America and allows students to broaden their knowl edge beyond their chosen field without the risk of lowering their grade-point average (GPA). According to the provisions outlined by SSMU’s VP Univer sity Affairs Monique Shebbeare, the pass/fail option could be used with electives that total no more than ten percent of a student’s credits taken at McGill to fulfill degree requirements. For example, those students enrolled in a 120 credit program would be entitled to take 12 credits on a pass/fail basis. These credits would not be included in the calculation of the student’s GPA. “Council is very excited about the benefits that a pass/fail system offer in terms of educa tion,” claimed Shebbeare. “I be lieve the introduction of this sys-

tem will encourage students to go win Senate approval. “I am confident that the pass/ out on a limb and take courses from fail system will appeal to the Sen a variety of disciplines.” ate committee,” stated Shebbeare. The project was initiated by Jon Feldman, amember of McGill’s “I realize McGill is very con servative but this alteration really Students For Education.

N e w s B rie f Shatner ready to cough-up, needs to know what A recent phone call from William Shatner’s niece has sparked the William Shatner University Centre Committee’s imagination. It seems that Bill would like to donate something to the building that has a practical use for students. The Stu dents’ Society is open to suggestions. Councillors were also assured at last week’s meeting that a William Shatner University Centre sign will grace the front kiosk shortly. “But where the dickens is William Shatner’s photo that was supposed to be above the kiosk?” demanded VP External Jeff Percival. Percival was assured that the photo will soon go boldly where no photo has gone before. All this emotion over one man is illogical, Captain.

Students don’t swallow marketing status quo at luncheon BY JANE WHITE Management students dis played a keen sense of business acumen during a brief question period at the end of the Sixth An nual Marketing Luncheon last Fri day. The concept of self-regula tion for the advertising industry alluded to by all three guest speak ers raised student concerns about advertisers’ social responsibility, particularly regarding tobacco products. The McGill Marketing Club hosted the luncheon, inviting World President of the Interna tional Advertising Association Mustapha Assad, Director-General of the International Advertising Association Head Office Norman Vale from New York City, and the Associate Publisher of the Inter national Herald Tribune Richard Morgan, to discuss regional ver sus global trends in marketing. “There seems to be barely a

month when one government or another around the world isn’t try ing to ban advertising,” stated Assad in what proved to be the most controversial speech. A strong proponent for the right of self-regulation for the advertising industry, Assad argued passion ately for advertiser freedom in a democratic system. U3 Finance student Pierre Parkinson strongly opposed Assad’s notion of self-regulation for advertisers. “If advertisers haven’t selfregulated to stop advertising to bacco products, which are the least desirable products to advertise, then how can we give them the responsibility to self-regulate?” he argued. This question provoked a surprisingly defensive reaction from all three guest speakers. The debate was intense and prolonged enough to dominate the rest of the question period.

“I was really pleased with their [the speakers’] reaction,” en thused Parkinson. “But I think they’re wrong in saying that the marketing industry is ready to selfregulate.” Rania Hanano, U3 manage ment student, agreed that the no tion of a self-regulating advertis ing industry is flawed. “I don’t think self-regula tion would work unless it is prof itable for the organization,” ex plained Hanano. “For example the Body Shop profits from social re sponsibility.” Marketing Professor Kunal Basu was unequivocal in his praise for students who raised questions at the luncheon. “I think responses have shown that the students are much more sensitive and socially aware than the marketers,” noted Basu. “Students are not going to take the high-handed slogans seriously. I’m much more impressed with

Luncheon speaker. —M organ and Assad (far righ t)—, ch ow d ow n , but stu dents don't b ite into th eir m essage. the students than the speak ers.” Noting that there had never been a question period at the lunch eon before, President of the Mar keting Club Amer Halawi offered an explanation for the division be tween students and speakers. “I think the Canadian society is very aware of environmental and social issues,” explained Halawi. “This [division] is typical of an issue that is debated between a Ca nadian who is very concerned about the environment and people who

are less culturally aware of i t ” Less philosophical in his response, Vale was dismissive about Parkinson’s tobacco que ries. “It’s the easiest question to pick up on,” argued Vale.“What they all [students] tend to miss is that restrictions on any product restricts our right to freedom.” “We can’t blame the social problems of our country on ad vertising,” he continued. “If we choose careers in advertising, we can’t be social scientists as well.”

E ditorial Isn't it amazing how some people can always be wrong, no m atter what they do? More im por tantly, isn’t it amazing how some people can always be right? This term's General Assembly (G A) proc ess, from its controversial begin nings to a typically Students' Soci ety (SSM U)-style, flamboyant fail ure seemed an alm ost perfect case in point. Remember the oh-so-exciting start to all of this? There was Presi dent Jason Prince, who ignored Council's and the Executives' au thority and ability to help him on the road to failure, and decided to go it alone. H e even w ent ahead and advertized impending doom with out the requisite perm ission. That was wrong. And, after the G A failed, Prince wanted to hold another one this week. A glutton for punish ment, perhaps? Well, o f course, he is still wrong. Always is. And Coun cil, who is always right, told him so by voting dow n his ideas 13-1. Then there's Amy Ridley (co coordinator of M CASA), who also seems to be always right. She re signed from some GA committee to support Walk-Safe, and to protest a president who was endangering stu

A t this point, all o f the rights and wrongs got together like nuts and bolts and w ent ahead with the GA. But appropriately enough, for a SSMU event, and for nuts and bolts, they screwed up. And suddenly, all the rights and wrongs got mixed-up. First o f all, the G A didn’t get quorum for 45 minutes. Apparently the student body was m ore interested in doing their own thing on a rainy W ednesday, rather than tell their stu dent leaders how to be right and wrong for them. Jon Ablett, who worked very hard on the right side in prom oting the GA later noted that the GA was not addressing crucial issues, and was thus not o f great interest to students. Presto! Ablett and Council are suddenly wrong, when ju st a few days before, they had been right. Ablett was som ewhere be tween Arkansas and Quebec at the time of the GA, which really didn’t help him stay on the right side. W hen the GA finally did get quorum, they got it through the presenceoflnter-Fratem ity-C ouncil m em bers, who days before were on the

wrong side, for trying to stack the assembly. N ow, they were right for participating in democracy and thus providing quorum. M inutes later, though, they were wrong again, because they left and broke quorum , as they didn't like how things were going. Ridley, on the other hand, was still right, as she complained that they were wrong, because they only cared about their own problems, and not the m ore im portant issues on campus. B ut wait am inute, maybe Ridley was all m ixed-up too. For years, peo ple like Ridley have been explaining how fraternities are bad— wrong— because they prom ote sexism, and are dangerous. Fair enough. She was prob ably right. B ut if we generalize and label an entire group o f people as being consistently destructive, when som e of those people definitely are not, should we be surprised if they don't bother to address our problems. Should we be surprised if they band together and act only in their own interests? Yes, the fraternities were wrong for leaving ju st because they couldn't change the order o f the G A agenda. Heck, they were on the agenda any way. B ut this consistent attacking of fraternities is also wrong, as it only

leads to what happened at the GA. Even more disappointing, is that the fraternities’attempt to gain SSMU recognition through the G A m ight have been something that was right for all o f us. All those people who showed up at the GA thinking themselves to be so right in their intent to oppose any recog nition o f fraternities, might want to c o n s id e r how th e y c o u ld be wrong— the recognition of frater nities in some form by SSMU would m ake them at least partially ac countable to SSMU, and thus ac countable to all of us. As such, it m ight be a little easier for the prob lem s which exist within the frater nity structure to be addressed. So m aybe the fraternities were a little less wrong this time than they usually seem to be, and maybe their detractors have shown themselves to be less than right in their constant hazing o f fraterni ties. At least w e can always count on Jason Prince. Then again, maybe this big GA fiasco shows that his initial ideas were right.

Infantile... N ov em b er 3rd, T h e M c G ill T rib u n e, page 6: Lev Bukhman, w rit ing on behalf o f the Inter-Fratem ity Council (IFC), exhorts students to vote for the recognition o f the IFC at the M cGill G eneral Assembly. His most com pelling defense lies in the claim that fraternities and sororities have the potential to be “a positive force in campus life”, and mentions the com m itm ent o f some fraternities to the M c G ill S e x u a l A ssa u lt C e n te r’s O utreach Program as proof. Flip forw ard to the G eneral Assembly: The first item on the agenda is campus safety, something with which the IFC has n o t h istorically been positively associated. Before the issue can be addressed, however, the IFC moves to amend the agenda so that their motion (Item 7) can be put first. The Assembly (democratically) defeats the motion. So the majority o f these terrifically progressive IFC members get up, leave the meeting, break the quorum , and thereby force the General Assem bly to adjourn before ithas even really begun. Perhaps the m en and women who abandoned the Assembly know som ething we don’t. M aybe they think that democracy isn’t the best approach for form ulating student policy. Maybe they know that in the grand scheme of things, frats and sororities are simply more im portant than personal safety. Does this amount to a pledge to die for o n e ’s fraternity or sorority? Who knows. Anyway, their infantile, arro gant antics in no way convinced any one present that the IFC deserves rec ognition as being the hotbed o f pro

gressive action that it claims to be.

I.F.C. ya A funny thing happened on the way to a perfect student democracy... the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) showed up. Or, more accurately, the IFC showed up and then left. The IFC, for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, is the organization which represents M cG ill’s assorted fraternities and sororities. The IFC was planning to show up in droves for the November 4th General Assembly to support a motion which would facili tate its escape from the SSM U’s doghouse. The General Assembly, for those of you unfamiliar with it, was a big meeting, spearheaded by SSMU President Jason Prince, in which Students Society policy was to be discussed and voted on. It was also the catalyst for the grand hubbub earlier this semester among the multitude of student politicos who dress up to do strange things behind closed doors, except during the Blue Jay playoff games. In order for the General Assembly to be official, quorum must be reached. This means that there must be at least 200 students present, and no more than 1 0 0 from any one faculty. As this particular assem bly was called to order, the crowd was abuzz and heavy with “greeks” (a term I hesitate to use, as it is undoubtedly offensive to actual Greek people, and in any case would probably be more accurate if one o f the letters were dropped). Frats and sororities, as you know if you are at all familiar with them, are “clubs” with exclusionary membership policies and a rather spotty history at McGill. They explicitly discriminate on the basis of gender, and implicitly discriminate on the basis of other more intangible but no less problematic social criteria. If you are not at all familiar with frats and sororities, think back to high

GROUND ZERI BY ADAM STERNBERGH school: frats are like cliques with names. The other difference is that frats charge money. But back to the Assem bly. An IFC representative proposed that their motion be shifted from seventh on the agenda to first. Others at the Assembly, apparently blind to the pressing nature of motion #7, voted to leave the agenda just as it was. The IFC members decided that if everyone wouldn’t play by their rules, they would take their ball and go home. Quorum was subse quently broken, and the Assembly cancelled. None of the issues, including the one o f concern to the IFC, were discussed or decided. The ironic coda to all of this was the impromptu speech by a sorority sister who had stayed behind to convince the assemblage that the IFC really does care, and that they really are trying to close the “schism” that exists between “us” and “them.” The speech lost some o f its punch, however, given that the dust was still settling from the herd which had moments before left en masse (a French term which seems strangely appropriate here) because they didn’t get their way. Needless to say, the IFC won no supporters that day, and the chances of their relatively inoffensive motion being passed, which were rather good on Nov. 4th, are now extremely slim. So, for once, the frats and sororities may have done à very good thing (and save your cries of all-night teeter-tootering). Through their petulant actions, the IFC members may have insured once and for all that they will forever remain outside the confines of the SSMU and legitimate campus life.

(“Well, Vincent Canby liked it, but let’s wait and hear w hatT heT rib has to say!”) O ne wonders how the T ribune decides how to apportion its attentions ; after all, S tar T rek did get a cover photo and a review. M aybe Jean-Paul Sartre isn’t quite kitschy enough. Perhaps a movement to nam e a building for Tom Stoppard w ould m erit a review for M cG ill’s production o f his play.

Coverage o f McGill events cannot end after the W hat’s On page. Can you im agine acam pus news section which never covered McGill news events? (Yes, and it’s called T he M cG ill D aily.)

N ot reviewing M cG ill produc tions suggests a certain indefensible arrogance: that som ehow our ow n theatre is not worthy o f your attention — that people ju st aren’t interested. I am writing to let you know that, SoupDragons be damned, we are interested. Thank you in advance for getting on the ball.

Meaningless... Open letter to the coordinators o f the M cGill W alksafe Network: The principles guiding the W alksafe philosophy are clearly ad mirable, how ever, if the principles cannot be upheld the whole experience is meaningless. I think that perhaps W alksafe’s policy on prioritizing calls should be revised. Last week, I phoned W alksafe at 7:00 requesting a pick up at 9:00 for a walk hom e to the ghetto.

As I understand, W alksafe’s mandate is to be there for McGill students within 15 m inutes o f the specified tim e. However, at 9:30, after waiting on a street com er for 30 minutes, I called W alksafe to find out the reason for the delay. I was informed that the team had responded to a call on the other side o f town that came in at around 8:50 and therefore it would be another 20-30 minutes before they could get to me. W alksafe requests thatcalls be made at least a half hour in advance to allow their teams sufficient time to respond, w hich implies a first come, first served system, but it seems the netw ork can not grant its users the courtesy of prioritizing calls in the order that they are received. I felt that by calling two hours in advance I had m ade a “reser vation”. W hen I was “stood up” for som eone who called ten m inutes in advance I had to seek other means o f getting home. The idea of having a netw ork to have students overcom e the dangers o f walking home is wonderful. B ut W alksafe should consider that when they leave som eone waiting for an indefinite period o f time, they are forced to find another alternative, which in m ost cases is walking alone. I feel that I place a certain level o f trust in the W alksafe netw ork when I call, and that last week my trust was betrayed. Rather than providing me a safe means home, my safety was actually put at risk. I encourage the m em bers o f W alksafe to implement a policy that will prioritize calls in this way pro viding a safer service.

A Remembrance BY ANGELO NOCE The monument at Vimy Ridge in the west o f France was erected to commemorate the cap ture o f the Ridge by the Canadian Corps on April 9, 1917. Angelo Noce, who was a guide at the site during the summer o f 1991, of fered to lead one last tour in hon our o f Remembrance Day. It’s an overcast day in the Pas de Calais, and the thick grass is still wet from the last rainfall. You’ve left the open plain behind and your legs tell you that the ground is gradually sloping up wards. You’re standing on the outskirts of Vimy Ridge. See the maze in front of you? That’s the preserved section of the trenches where 100,000 Canadi ans called home in 1917. The trenches are now preserved in concrete to keep the ground from encroaching on them. During World War I it was just mud—up to two feet of it in winter. In fact, more than a few Canadian soldiers drowned in these trenches when they fell in the mud face down and no one was near to pull them out. That heavy metal door in front of you leads 30 feet down into the Grange Tunnel, which is part of a 15 kilometre tunnel net work that the Canadians carved into the chalky ground in three and a half months, using only picks and shovels. The Grange Tunnel

is only one kilometre long. Yet just before the Battle of Vimy Ridge, over 1,000 infantrymen crammed into it and waited for the order to spill out into no-man’sland, to face artillery, mines, mor tars, barbed wire and a hail of machine gun fire. The Montreal Crater caught your attention. It’s one of the big ger ones, about 15 metres deep and 25 metres wide. It was formed when the Germans detonated a few tons of explosives under one of the Canadian trenches. One moment there stood here a trench filled with young Montrealers from the 42nd regiment, and a moment later there was a gaping hole and a scattering of limbs in the mud. Some of those limbs may be in the cemetery you passed by earlier, one of 30 cemeteries in a 16 kilmetre radius of this site where Canadians are buried. They would have been placed under headstones marked “A Canadian Soldier of the Great War: Known unto God.” The acres of maple and pine trees that surround you were all planted on the shattered landscape after the War—one tree for every Canadian soldier who died in France during the First World War and whose body was never identi fied. There are 11,285—that’s a lot of ‘Known Unto God’s’. They call this next part of the Ridge the ‘egg carton’ because the small craters caused by 30

months of constant artillery bom bardment continue to mark the landscape 75 years later. In the 1930’s, the spring thaw was still bringing human bones up to the surface. This isn’t so surprising, when you consider that the French lost over 130,000 soldiers trying to take the Ridge in 1915. At the end of the walk, you come to what is by all accounts the most impressive war monument in Europe. It consists of 15,000 tons of reinforced concrete sup porting 6,000 ton columns of Yu goslav limestone, 20 sculptures, a long list of battle honours, and the odd handful of poppies for the grandfather who is not in the fam ily album. The whole sits on the top of the highest point of the Ridge taken by the Canadians, and looks down upon the Douai Plain that they liberated. A bold and fitting monument erected in the midst of the Great Depression, it shouts the names of the 66,000 Canadians who fell during the War. The walk need not end with Vimy Ridge. Canadians can visit anywhere from Passchendaele to Dieppe, from Normandy to Seoul, from South Africa to the South Pacific. The landscapes are very different, but a connecting thread exists—the blood, spilled in war, of hundreds upon thousands of Canadians. At least once a year, let us walk these paths and re member them.

SARC offers advice and referral service to undergrads BY KATIE ROBSON A group o f com m itted English graduate students have formed the Student Advising and Referral Center (SARC), in re sponse to what they perceive to be a need for confidential, infor mal advice and referral. “We want to stress that SARC is not a counselling serv ice,” said SARC’s chair, Sue Laver. “Nor is it a policing serv ice directed against faculty or graduate students. Instead, we are trying to help students access all the information or organiza tions on campus that can help them. Instead of giving out ad vice in an ad hoc fashion, we thought it would be useful to systematize, in a sense, campus resources.” Adam Muller, a SARC ad visor and English graduate stu dent, pointed out another posi tive aspect of the service. “SARC is one way for us to keep tabs on issues that concern the department,” he noted. “We

can chart the type and frequency of responses to get a sense of trends or issues that need to be dealt with at an administrative level.” SARC’s mandate covers sexual harassment, racism, abu sive teaching practices and what SARC terms “inappropriate in trusion into private affairs.” Both Laver and Muller insisted, how ever, that no student would be turned away, even if the issue in question did not correspond pre cisely to SARC’s declared pur pose. “We also want students to know that if they have any advice or suggestions for SARC, w e’re very interested in their input,” said Laver. “Students could ei ther come to a referral session or talk to a DESA [English Stu dents’ Association] member.” All ten SARC volunteers are graduate students, and all have signed confidentiality contracts. Members are not allowed to dis cuss cases with non-SA R C members, and cannot discuss

particulars of cases with other volunteers. In setting up SARC, the organizers tried to anticipate every possible conflict that could arise. “It is possible that students may want to discuss something related to a SARC volunteer,” Laver elaborated. “In such a case, our advice would be for the stu dent to go to a referral session led by another volunteer. A student should have no worries about confidentiality— our policy is clearly drawn.” Laver pointed out that the service, at present, includes only graduate students in its volunteer base. “We feel that graduate stu dents are capable of dealing with these issues,” she said. “Of course, who knows what may happen down the road? I person ally believe a joint project [with faculty members] could be ex tremely rewarding, but for the moment, SARC has no official involvement with the Depart ment.”

SARC grew out of a dis cussion about the responses TA V were finding on course evalua tion forms. “We started talking about classroom dynamics generally, and then the conversation spread to issues, such as racism, sexism or any unwanted intrusion into private affairs, that can poten tially affect students,” said Muller. “These issues aren’t pecu liar to the English Department, or to the University environment, but we thought that as graduate students and teaching assistants, we had a chance, and a certain responsibility, to improve the situation,” clarified Laver. “We are in a unique position; we have a rapport with students that pro fessors can’t always have. We occupy a middle stage between the student experience and the au,thority of faculty members, and because of this students often turn to us for help.” Muller concurred with this, adding, “I think our position gives

us a kind of strength or flexibil ity. If we don’t pigeonhole our selves into acting solely as au thorities or as “buddy” figures, we can respond to a broader range of issues in a more effective way.” Gayle Goldin, president of DESA, supported the endeavors of the graduate students. “I think it’s an excellent idea, and there is definitely a need for a mediating service of this kind,” she stated. However, she did have some concerns about undergraduate perceptions of SARC. “I hope students realize that SARC is just a referral service,” said Goldin. “Going to SARC shouldn’t replace taking other steps or other actions; it should be thought of as a first step. Stu dents should go to SARC for advice, and then should be pre pared to act on it.” SARC holds two hour-long sessions each week, one in Arts 385 on Monday, and one in Arts 235 on Tuesday, both starting at 2:30.

The McGill Tribune, N ovem ber 10-16,1992

M e d ia fa ilu r e in L ittle R o ck BY A LEX U S H E R LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—The media centre in Little Rock was a long, high-ceilinged ballroom in the basement of the Excelsior Hotel and Convention Centre. Approximately 800 journalists sat at 24 long tables covered with dozens of television sets, personal computers, hundreds of tel ephones and miles of tangled phone and cable wires. It was a phenomenal sight. Journalists had travelled thousands of miles, from every continent on the globe, to be in Little Rock, Arkansas (pop: 178,000), home of Democratic President-to-be Bill Clinton, to re port on the end of 12 years of Repub lican rule. Outside, some 40,000 peo ple were gathering in the streets to celebrate. But instead of actually wit nessing these events, the cream of the international media chose to stay in doors and watch TV. Amazingly, not a single print journalist who filed a report from Little Rock on Nov. 3rd actually saw Bill Clinton that day, nor were they anywhere within 200 metres of the Old Statehouse for his acceptance speech. Instead, they sat hunched around glowing screens in a smoky, oversized hotel room. CNN seemed to be the journalists’ channel of choice, although ABC ran a close second. “I could watch all this in Amsterdam,” a Dutch radio joumalistnamed Walter commented. “What are we doing here? Good question. Once in a while, someone at the ‘media center’ at the back of the room would issue an alert over the speakers: a new pool report was in! Everyone would leap excitedly out of their seats and rush to receive a copy. Predictably, the pool report was also written by CNN. Journalists dutifully fed the report into their computers and wired them home. For the exact tex t of this report, check out the second column of last Wednesday’s Globe andM ail front-page story by Murray Campbell. It’s an almost word-forword copy of the pool report. Wolf Blitzer, the CNN jour nalist of Gulf War fame, was there, but he didn’t seem to be doing any reporting. Instead, he trolled theroom, seeing if anyone wanted to talk to him. Occasionally, someone would

muster the courage to go and talk to The Man, and engage him on the subject of who was likely to be in a Clinton cabinet. Blitzer would then begin an extended monologue on the subject, using language that was only comprehensible to those who have spent at least five years inside the Beltway in Washington. The other journalist, satisfied at having heard the latest Conventional Wisdom, would return to his or her computer, madly scribbling notes about the justfinished conversation. Having eschewed actual re porting in favour of having Bernard Shaw spoon-feed them the results, the assembled journalists quickly threw professional objectivity out the window as well. At 8:03 pm, when the networks declared that Michigan and New Jersey (two must-win states for Bush) had gone to Clinton, people loudly and openly cheered. A dis gusted AP reporter turned to a col league from the Dallas Morning Herald and said,‘“ liberal media’, right?” The international journalists were more restrained in their conduct that evening. Unlike the Americans, they would roll their eyes when the swaying multi-racial gospel band in front of the state house began its interminable choruses of God Bless America and the Battle Hymn o f the Republic. Unlike the Americans, they took absolutely no notice, other than a quiet expletive, of the televised chants of ‘Quayle in ‘96’ by some Indiana Republicans. The Third World reporters were particularly refreshing , their loudly clacking typewriters a soothing counterpoint to the increasingly irritating sound of the hordes of sm ooth-hum m ing notebook computers and modems. Still, the foreign journalists seemed to have nothing better to do with their time than watch TV, either. Their only saving grace was that they were embarassed about it. As I left the hotel and fought my way through the victory-drunk crowd to get back to our van, I mulled over the spectacle of the world’s media in complete enslavement to CNN reports. There was only one conclusion to be reached: Noam Chomsky, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Little Rockers love ‘their’ new prez BY R IC H L A TO U R LITTLE ROCK, Ark.— An en thusiastic crowd of approximately 40,000 withstood rainy weather in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas last Tuesday, and waited for up to six hours in front of the old State C apitol to hear new lyelected P resid en t B ill C lin to n ’s acceptance speech. In general, the rea sons Little Rock citizens cited for supporting Clinton paralleled those echoed by m illio n s o f A m ericans across the country during the course of the campaign, hav ing to do with such issues as dom estic affairs, the economy and a general de sire for change. But the excitement in Little Rock took on a unique level of excitement regard ing Clinton: he has been governor of Arkansas for all but two of the past fourteen years. If anyone in the United States is fam iliar w ith Clinton's abilities as a leader, it is the people of this small state. “It’s easier to understand and trust him,” admitted Aurora Hamilton, a 22-year-old political science student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. “He knows the people in Arkan sas.” Indeed, most of the Arkansans the Tribune spoke to while waiting for Clinton to speak were extremely con fident the new President would be as successful at the national level as he had been at the state one. “He stands for change and he’s been good to the people of Arkansas,” said Paul Crawford, a 44-year-old Lit tle Rock school board employee, point ing to Clinton's popular educational

A collection o f some of the more bizarre and noteworthy vi gnettes from The Tribune's jour ney into the fabled South. From a 60-year-old steel worker who said he’s worked on every Clinton campaign since 1974: “My son is 10 years out of high school, and he just got a job at $8.50 an hour and has health insurance for the first time. Tell me how your health care system works. Does everybody in Canada really have health insurance?” In the Excelsior Hotel Ball room, where locals and luminar ies (Richard Dreyfuss, Markie Post, Tom Cruise) had gathered to

celebrate, people actually started doing hog calls à la Deliverance when it became clear that Clinton had won. CNN tagged this howling as “the pig thing”, which peeved some Clinton supporters. “Pig thing?" exclaimed a volunteer, “It’s Calling the Hogs! We’re the Razorback state! Don’t they know that?” Reactions in the Ballroom to some of the exit polling results were a little more disquieting. There were cheers when ABC announced that Clinton had handily won the suburban vote, the seniors’ vote and especially the youth vote. However, when it was revealed that Clinton had taken 71 per cent of the gay and lesbian vote, the applause was scattered at best, ac-

companied by a lot of giggling. The new Vice-President, A1 Gore, comes from Tennessee, which is surely the centre of all American popular culture. Not only does it contain the fabled Graceland, but it also houses such monuments as theGrandOl’Opry, the Loretta Lynn Mansion/Museum/Dude Ranch complex, and | the Conway Twitty theme park, which, no joke, is called Twitty City.

reforms in Arkansas. “If he does for the United States what he has done for Arkansas the country will be in much better shape. I’m very disappointed with the Bush administration over the past four years.” “The Republicans have had 12

years and they haven’t done anything. In fact, we’ve gone down in those 12 years,” concurred another Little Rock resident, 56-year-old James McCurley. Many residents cited President George Bush's domestic failure with the economy as a main reason for the w idespread d issen t ag ain st the Repubicans in 1992. “The economy usually doesn’t affect our business but this time it has,” explained SheilaTaylor, a45-year-old cosmetologist from Heber Springs, Ark. “There are just no jobs avail able,” added Taylor, a registered Re publican who voted for Clinton. Nathan Hughes, a 16-year-old from Conway, Ark., felt the pinch of

who voted Republican in 1988. “They told me four years ago that Bush would do the best job,” ex plained McPherson. “They lied.” Julia McGinnes, 44, outlined Bush’s main strength, and how it ulti mately did not go far enough. “He is an excellent foreign af fairs man,” she admitted. “But the fact is he doesn’t relate to the common man. He [Clinton] really cares; being a baby boomer he has seen it is the time for change. It’s a question of new blood.”

Indeed, change was the buzzword floating around Little Rock lastTuesday. For Arkansans, Clinton, the first President bom after the Sec ond World W ar and who is two years younger than Mick Jagger, embodies the precise formula for real « change. Arkansans were proud that their governor had overcome rumours linking Clinton to an al leged affair and him hav ing dodged the draft dur ing the V ietnam W ar. Such so-called 'character issues' did not in flu en ce Arkanasans' vote as they proceeded to opt for the generational change in their executive. the economic downturn while looking “How he has led this state is for a job this past summer. w hat m atters to m e,” explained Said a frustrated Hughes, “I ’ve Crawford. “It’s so easy to make allega gone to every single place I could think tions against someone who is very of but everyone is cutting back because prominent.” the economy is so poor. I regret not “One has to question what being old enough to vote.” [Bush’s] personal values are consider B ut such enthusiasm for Clinton ing what he said in the latter stages of was not shared by all in Little Rock last the campaign,” stated McPherson, re Tuesday.

The crowd, left to party in “I voted for Clinton but I can’t Little Rock’s little streets following help but wonder what [independent Clinton and Vice-President-elect A1 candidate Ross] Perot wouldhavebeen Gore's acceptance speeches, was left like,” reflected Saunders. “Clinton is a with a confident feeling that the typical politician in the sense that he American situation could only get pleases in order to get votes. He says better under a Clinton adminstration. the right things.” Said Ken Graham, a 34-yearOne young woman who voted old actor from Little Rock, “People for Bush was horrified at the prospect have voted for progress and change; of Clinton at the helm of the nation. they were not manipulated by Bush to “The thought of that man vote for the status quo.

The McGill T ribune, N ovem ber 10-16,1992

Entertainment The naked truth DISCLAIMER

T w e n ty y e a rs a g o C a n a

Last week McGill apathy reached an all-time median. Nothing was passed at Wednes day’s General Assembly. It had nothing to do with the lack of passion of those present, rather a lack of passion on the whole. 200 undergraduates were required to reach quorum, and yet this number—one seventy-fifth of the 15,000 students on campus daily (as opposed to 10, 000 Dailies on campus three times a week), could only be mustered for fifteen minutes. Thank goodness Council voted against having the affair catered. Fictional finger sandwiches aside, the apathy slate may be wiped clean as soon as we choose to do so ourselves. This week offers as good an opportunity to do just that as any. Volunteers are needed to guide city safety auditors around the ghetto and plateau areas pointing out potential danger spots. The idea of targeting certain areas only perpetuates the myth that assaults occur at lonely bus shelters and darkened alley ways. Certainly they do. However, if enough volunteers were to be found who could lead an auditor through the ghetto and impart upon them the necessity of increased police surveillance in conjunction with the addition of a few well-placed street lights, then the situation would be greatly improved. All women want to feel in control walking in their neighbour hood. One of the most tooted sirens of autonomy in the last ten years is undoubtedly Madonna. A Machi avellian mermaid, the Diviner Ms. M celebrates her ends as much as her means. As have I. With the launch of her own book SEX and her own record label, “Maverick”, Madonna continued her laudable assent. She has broken down many taboos such as those concerning pre-marital sex and the Church. Totally in control of her package, she has been a visionary able to challenge the assault of multi-media images to which we are subjected. The pictorial content of October’s Vanity Fair magazine were the first time her boundary breaking had infringed upon my own sphere. Cripes, it’s November

BABBLE 01V

and those photos, they still bother me. For those of you who missed the spread, it featured Madonna.dressed to the Ninties in retro-gear. Unfortunately, the whole aesthetic applies her mature sexuality to a ‘little girl look.’ The photos are glorious. The styling is utterly convincing of a time when insurance companies ran such pictures along side slogans such as “a woman makes the home, we make the loan”. I have wrestled more with her irresponsible venue than the content itself. Six of the last dozen issues of Vanity Fair have sold out their printing of over a million copies. Understandably, so did this controversial issue. Bringing material which encourages the stereotype of the vulnerable sexuality of the grown woman into the scope of the mainstream is reprehensible. These photographs deserved a more explicit explanation. These.were her fantasies. I under stand that SEX is a compilation of her fantasies as well but at $70 a pop to break the book’s wrapper, it will not reach the unschooled audience, whereas the Vanity Fair pictures have. , And even though SEX may reach the schooled audience, both that book and her latest video, Erotica, emphasize her ability to express and display her fantasies in public. Let us not forget that her highly paid, highly visible, and highly vigilant entourage provides her with a security that the rest of us are not privileged enough to afford. It is possible that Madonna’s self-made liberation, which is not accessible to the rest of us, may only serve to encroach upon our safety, as it suggests an air of security and a sense of freedom which does not exist. To engage in her fantasies would be dangerous for most of us. Let’s utilize the safety audit to our own advantage. She never needs a walk home through the ghetto, but we do. Sometimes Madonna, I don’t think you know what pain is.

During what has so far been a disappointing concert season, the Beastie Boys/Rollins Band show at Metropolis on November 3 was an event not to be missed. The Beasties, with their first tour in years, and their first trip ever to Montreal, were out to pro mote their stellar new album Check Your Head, while Rollins, back for the second time in the last four months, continued his endless pursuit of the award for the world’s most dura ble vocal chords. Neither group dis appointed the teaming-masses which packed the sold out show, each putting on a display which left the crowd ex hilarated, yet exhausted. Rollins wasted little time getting the show rocking, bursting into “Low Self Opinion.” It was almost as if the crowd snapped, one moment they were standing around and shuffling their feet waiting for the act to begin, and the next moment they exploded as the guitar ripped through their ears. Rollins gave The End o f Silence more than adequate treatment, at the same time appeasing his older fans with “Do It” and “Move Right In,” also covering The Beasties’ “Lighten Up.” In many ways Rollins’ per

formance was typical of his past shows, but that is not to say that it was any less entertaining. Anyone who puts that much energy into a performance and backs it up with perhaps the tightest band on the road today can come to town as

show’s advantage, each style lay ing a foundation from which the next could build on. The Beasties were proficient enough on their respective instruments, although at times it seemed apparent that they had aquired the skills only recently. The band was set up with Mike D playing the guitar, MCA on bass and Adrock behind thé skins. The band also in cluded a much ap preciated organ and percussion section who helped to pro vide a funkier edge on spectacular ren ditions of “So Wat Cha W ant?” and “The Maestro.” The mosh pit was in full force for both acts, but as expected con tained the requisite number of no minds seeking to compensate for their childhood lactose deficiency, taking out their aggressions on individuals who were unfortunate enough to be pushed in their way. It is about time that someone pub lish a pamphlet on moshing eti quette so as to avoid this sort of uncouth behavior.

The film follows Donald through his last year o f high school as he confronts the difficulties o f sexual initiation and social awareness. His commu nity has been devoured by the D e pression, however, vitality emerges from the simple common experience o f growing up. Sutherland’s first on-screen performance is resolutely honest.

After capturing the Québec title last Saturday with a 1-0 win over Concordia, the Martlets will be making their fourth consecu tive trip to the CIAU champion ships this weekend. McGill, ranked third in the nation, finished in first place in the QUSLregular season witharecord of 6- 1-2 , and so earned a bye into the league finals. Sherbrooke and Concordia tied for second, with identical records of 5-3-1, but Concordia advanced to the finals by defeating Sherbrooke in the semi-final match. And so, for the second consecutive year, McGill and Concordia played each other for the provincial title. This was the fourth contest of the year between the cross-town rivals. In the regular season, the series between them was even : each team had won a game 1-0 and they split the third 2-2. The stage was set for an other close match, but McGill came out strong and controlled the en tire game. The Martlets won the balls in the air, made intelligent passes and came very close to scor ing numerous times. Although the Stingers did not play poorly, they lacked the determination and con centration which McGill showed,

and never managed to mount a threatening attack. Despite dominating the first half, McGill was unable to capital ize on its chances. But halfway through the second half, Kathryn Durand worked the ball deep into the Concordia zone and laid a pass off to Stephanie Hart. Her shot was blocked, but rookie Luciana Cifarelli managed to get her foot on the ball and put it away for her first goal of the season. McGill continued to press for the remainder of the game, coming close at least two more times before the final whistle con firmed the victory. The game was a complete team effort. “It was our best game of the whole year. We were intense throughout the game and played together as a team,” said Kathryn Durand. The backfield, comprised of captain Andrea Benoit, Kirsten Greer and Gayle Noble, continued the strong play which they have shown all year. In the midfield, Brigitte Masella and Kathryn Durand controlled the game, sup porting both the offence and de fence well. Up front, Julie Maughan nearly increased her team-leading goal total twice, but was denied both times. Fittingly, it was Cifarelli who came off the

bench to give McGill the win and another shot at the national title. After the game, head coach Tony Iachetta was happy not only with the win, but with how the Martlets played. “We played with a lot of heart,” said Iachetta. We won the balls in the air and kept pressing. The girls had a meeting this past week to outline what they wanted,

and they did what they set out to do.” Gayle Noble, who was named game MVP and recently league MVP, was pleased that the team never let up. “We played an amazing game. We came out with intensity and stayed pumped up for the whole game,” Noble said. Based on their play through

out the season, five Martlets were named to the QUSL first All-Star Team: Noble, Greer, Maughan, as well as Heidi Bloom field and Odile Desbois. Coach Iachetta was again named the QUSL coach of the year. The team now heads to McMaster University in Hamilton this weekend to compete for the national championship.

Redmen soccer streak snapped by Stingers BY AND REW ROSS

McGill’s hopes for a sev enth consecutive men’s QUSL ti tle were melted Sunday by a hot Concordia team fresh from down ing first-place Sherbrooke last week. The Stingers scored on a penalty shot in the 107 th minute to claim a 2-1 victory atMolson Sta dium, thereby ending McGill’s dynastic hold on the QUSL cham pionship. On a cool afternoon before a partisan crowd of several hundred, the Redmen offence came out of the blocks early. The Redmen striker combination of MarcAntoine Larochelle and Mike Popowych worked easily against the the Concordia defence and provided several good chances in the first minutes. But it was de fender Rolf Gronas who tallied the first Redmen goal. In the 13th minute, Gronas sprinted into the Stingers ’ goalmouth to meet a long Chris Hansell throw-in which he headed into the net. However, C oncordia’s R edm en left flat-looted b y Concordia.

midfield responded by seizing control of the flow of play. Thw arted down the m iddle, Concordia sent its wingers into the comers to set up crosses in front of the Redmen net— a tactic to which McGill’s defence proved vulnerable. In the 40th minute, one such long pass found the foot of a Concordia forward who crushed a volley past Redmen keeper Andrew Potter, tying the game 1- 1. McGill resuscitated its of fensive in the second half with several stabs but then lost the mo mentum. With the end of regula tion time came two fifteen-minute overtime halves to resolve the deadlock. Again, McGill pressured well, but was continually frustrated by the range of the Concordia keeper. In the 103rd minute, a Concordia player was carded out and McGill poured it on with the man advantage. Both goalies were put on the spot to keep their re spective teams ’ chances alive with alarming frequency.

It came down to an unfortu nate call in the Redmen penalty box to decide the game. McGill goaltender Potter guessed the di rection of the ensuing penalty shot, but he was unable to get a hand on it. The game of inches was lost by the Redmen as a call in the Concordia end was lined up in the centre of penalty box line, a breath away from a penalty shot. And McGill was unable to penetrate the eight-man Concordia wall. Hope was not lost for the Redmen, who are renowned for their last-minute comebacks. They staged a valiant display of rushing in desperation for clear cracks at the Stingers’ net. Impressive. Desperate. And too late. Concordia Stingers held on to secure their first visit to the National Championships since 1985. It remains to be seen this weekend in Guelph whether the Stingers, who finished in fourth place in the QUSL, can compete at the national level.

McGill hosted the CIAU cross-country championships last Saturday, an event dominated by runners from Western Canada. On a bitterly cold day, the pen guins came out and the favorites came through.

The women’s 5K race saw the University of Calgary’s Lisa Harvey cruise to victory in 17:39. Her teammate Tamara Solomon was third; sandwiched between them for second was Guelph Uni versity’s sole runner, Kathy But ler. Calgary took the women’s title with 50 total points; UBC

was a distant second with 83. M cGill’s women placed well enough to take fifth place, the highest national finish ever by a McGill cross-country team. Linda Thyer led the way with a fourth-place finish and Mélanie Choinière finished sixth. In her final cross-country race at McGill,

R unning up that h ill.

Maeve Muldowney placed six teenth. “I didn’t know what to ex pect,” said an obviously winded Linda Thyer. “I feel like I’m in better shape than last year, but it was a better field.” Until last week end, Thyer had won 12 consecutive races. “I was shooting for the top three, but it’s hard to be disap pointed with fourth,” she com mented. The men’s 10K race was won by UBC’s Graem e Fell, who edged Moncton’s Joel B ourgeois by two seconds. The uneven terrain was obviously suited to Fell’s talents; he is a 10 , 0 0 0 -m e tre steeplechase spe cialist and three time Olympian. “It was a tough course.” said Fell. “But I had some sprint left for the end of the race.” Fell and Bourgeois

It was a full weekend for both the first and second McGill w om en’s rugby teams. Both teams played their respective semi-finals on Saturday and each advanced to the finals on Sun day. Unfortunately, the first and second fifteen imitated more than each other’s schedules, the sec ond team losing to MacDonald College 10-0 and the first team losing the provincial champion ship to Concordia 12-0. The McGill first team faced John Abbott on a very cold Sat urday for the right to advance to the finals. The team didn’t plan on letting a replay of last year’s semis occur, where the underdog Abbott squad ousted them with a surprise win. Despite the apparent supe riority of the McGill team, (they were 2-1 against Abbott this sea son), the Islanders did not roll over and indeed, managed to keep the first half scoreless. McGill composed itself and

turned on the jets in the second half with a typical bulldozing into the endzone by #8 Alison Traynor and a beautiful 40-yard run by outside center Carlene Bacchiochi. Devestated, the Abbott team couldn’t pass midfield for the rest of the game, leaving McGill with a 10-0 win and a berth to the finals. “It was the best forwards game we played all season,” said McGill prop Teri Oakman, em phasizing the play of the pack in the win. “We drove over them, stepped over them, we shoved them into the dirt,” she gloated. Shoving the Lady Stingers into the dirt on Sunday proved to be a less plausible task. McGill walked into the finals without a single win or try in their three games against Concordia this sea son. All three games were really close;one was even a scoreless tie. But the strong Concordia team showed it could be sneaky as well, taking advantage of the referee’s calls, or lack of them, to

march the ball downfield for a try by N ational team #8 Josée Laçasse, with the conversion coming from McGill expatriate, fullback Linda Miller. At the half it seemed that little was going right for a hard working McGill team, having al ready lost stubborn flanker Cindy Hendrickson to a separated shoul der. (Remarkably, Hendrickson continued to play for several min utes after the separation.) Despite strong play on the rucks and scrums in the second half, the McGill forwards had trouble getting the ball to their swift backs. When the ball did get to the backs, one calamity or another (usually wearing maroon and yellow) quickly stifled the opportunity. Frustration piled upon frus tration and Concordia eventually carried the ball to the endzone in a tight scrum for an unconverted try. The rest of the game was anti-climactic, punctuated by flares of irritation such as Na tional team hooker Val

Matthews’ dance on a Stinger. The final whistle blew to an nounce rep eat cham pions Concordia. It was an understandably dejected McGill team that ana lysed the game, among them fly half Jen T. Hall. “During the season our problem was that it took them to score for us to kick in, but we’re capable of playing well and we showed that.” Second row Beth Wylie agreed. “I still think we fought hard. We played well but they played better,” she said. Prop Deb Gomes’ com ments served as a summation of the Martlets’ official schedule. “This game really epito mized our season: there were bursts where we were really in tense and times where we were lax.” Although the regular sea son is over, the rugby team will travel to New York City during American Thanksgiving for an invitational tournament. Dona tions are appreciated.

were neck-and-neck until the fi nal 500 metres. The men’s team title went to Université de Sherbrooke, the first time a Quebec cross-country team has ever won a national title. McGill’s men’s team, largely rookies, placed seventh and last. “I think our runners realize now that the only way to be com petitive at this level is to train year-round,” said McGill coach Dennis Barrett. “This was the first year that most of our people ran during the off-season.” The women’s team shows promise for next season; only M uldow ney will be gone. Choinière, a rookie, compares to Thyer in her first year. Tanja Taivasssalo was headed for a top30 finish until she was hampered by an injury at the end of the season. The team was missing Danielle Dyck, whom Barrett thinks would have made the dif ference between fifth and second. Not to make excuses, but this was better than a fifth-place team. McGill’s men will certainly improve. Jean-Nicolas Duval and Joshua Lall, both in their first cross-country seasons, posted McGill’s best results (33rd and 34 th). Teammate Marc Benoit put things in perspective after the race. “We knew there would be Olympians running and it was an incredibly fast start,” said Benoit. “We weren’t really sure how we would rate.” Most of McGill’s cross country runners will compete on the track team next spring. If last Saturday was any indication, this could be a very fine year indeed.

McGill’s Twin Towers try to topple U PE I BY RICK EVANS

The up and coming McGill Redmen basketball team hosted an invitational tournament at the Currie Gym this past weekend. The com petition was of a fairly high calibre, with Bishop’s Uni versity, Skidmore College (from Saratoga Springs, New York), and the nationallyranked University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) par ticipating. Friday’ s action saw McGill squaring off against Skidmore, while Bishop’s challenged UPEI. Skidmore’s star center Yusuf Screen (who gave new meaning to the term incon sistent) finally managed to kick on all cylinders late in the game and help Skidmore down McGill 70-63. In the second game of the evening, a business-like UPEI de feated Bishop’s 83-70. First up Saturday, in a match between winning teams, UPEI battled

Skidmore, with UPEI emerging as victors with a 99-73 victory. Next, McGill took on Bishop’s and defeated the Gaiters by the whopping score of 79-49 in a fun and action-filled game. McGill looked impressive in what was to be the most lopsided victory of the tournament. “McGill played well against Bishop’s because of good defence and good con trol. We also shot well,” said veteran McGill forward Jon Campbell. Sunday afternoon Bish op’s and Skidmore squared off. This game went much as expected, with Skidmore dumping Bishop’s 89-66. The last game of the tournament, in true dramatic fashion, determined the win ner. A McGill win by a mar gin of eight points or more would knock UPEI out of first place, and give McGill the championship. The key to this game was the matchup of McGill’s
